Nacho Libre (2006) |
"Mixing the wild style of Jack Black with the comedic hesitancy of Hess results in a picture all at once funny, sweet, and surprising." |

Nacho Libre (2006) |
"Freedom comes with jalapenos and extra cheese." |

Tomato 3.5/5 |
The Namesake (2007) |
"The Namesake is worth seeing for its unflinching depiction of family hardships and stunning cinematography." |
Lexi Feinberg |
Splat 2.5/5 |
The Nanny Diaries (2007) |
"It's hard to watch Annie without dismissing her as simply weak or cowardly. She's not a bad person, but she's an empty vessel." |
Joshua Tyler |

Nanny McPhee (2006) |
"Replacing Mary Poppins' umbrella with a stick and giving her a horrible wart doesn't make this a new concept." |
Joshua Tyler |
Tomato 3/5 |
Nanny McPhee (2006) |
"Parents may find more to enjoy in it than kids, since the little buggers are probably only there for the magic, of which there's not nearly enough." |
Joshua Tyler |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Napoleon Dynamite (2004) |
"Jared Hess pushes Napoleon’s stupidity as far as it can go in pursuit of cheap laughs, but achieves nothing that isn’t easily forgettable." |
Joshua Tyler |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
National Treasure (2004) |
"A smart, entertaining little adventure through American history." |
Bill Beyrer |
Tomato 4/5 |
National Treasure (2004) |
"It’s a nice set of features for a basic release; they’ve just tricked the menu up a little too much." |
Joshua Tyler |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
National Treasure 2 : Book of Secrets (2007) |
"Cage brings so much enthusiasm to the character, it's hard not to get wrapped up in the history he's geeking out over hunting." |
Joshua Tyler |

Neil Young - Heart of Gold (2006) |
"The trailer has more in common with Ray or Walk the Line than it does some MTV shot Metallica concert." |
Joshua Tyler |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Never Die Alone (2004) |
"Its messy narrative ultimately sends it straight into the gutter." |
Michael Brody |

Never Die Alone (2004) |
"With his bright blue eyes and charming smile, newcomer Michael Ealy once again uses his angelic appearance as a mask." |
Michael Brody |
Tomato 5/5 |
The Neverending Story (1984) |
"One of a scant few true Fantasy masterpieces." |
Joshua Tyler |
Splat 1.5/5 |
New in Town (2009) |
"It takes a whole lot of chutzpah, and a real lack of imagination, to make a movie like New In Town in 2009." |
Katey Rich |
Splat 2/5 |
The New World (2005) |
"A movie that I can only assume he deliberately set out to make boring, a tedious trial of audience patience." |
Joshua Tyler |
Splat 1/5 |
New York Minute (2004) |
"Ferris Bueller’s Day Off re-enacted by over-sensualized, underage spider-monkeys." |
Joshua Tyler |
Splat 2/5 |
New York, I Love You (2009) |
"Not every story is cliche, of course, just as not all are bad, but the rotten apples have a tendency to spoil the bunch." |
Katey Rich |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008) |
"A surprisingly timeless story given its hip trappings. It will enthrall teen viewers who imagine such an adventurous, music-fueled life for themselves." |
Katey Rich |
Splat 2/5 |
Nicotina (2004) |
"The only similarity it bears to the work of Quentin Tarantino is in its propensity for shooting main characters in the head." |
Joshua Tyler |
Tomato 4/5 |
Night at the Museum (2006) |
"I want to see a prehistoric man shoot Ben Stiller in the face with a fire extinguisher. Why the hell not?" |
Joshua Tyler |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (2009) |
"Enjoy the zooming action and slightly nerdy reverence for the past, and try not to think about what this delightful concept might have been in the hands of a tighter, more aware director." |
Katey Rich |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Night Gallery - The Complete First Season (1970) |
"The quality of the show is about as regular as the bowels of an 80 year old man who has gone without his prunes for a week." |

Splat 2.5/5 |
Night of the Living Dorks (2006) |
"Outside of surface details involving flesh eating and body rot, these zombie stooges look more hung over than dead. This is really a sex comedy with a zombie theme." |
Brian Holcomb |
Splat 3/5 |
Night Watch (2005) |
"Bekmambetov needs to stop trying to copycat Hollywood with his action sequences and tighten up his storytelling." |
Stuart Wood |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) |
"Before The Corpse Bride ever put on her wedding gown there was The Nightmare Before Christmas, a film years later still superior in every way." |
Rafe Telsch |
Splat 2/5 |
Nights in Rodanthe (2008) |
"A movie needs a reason to exist other than to wring tears out of overemotional people." |
Katey Rich |
Splat 1/5 |
Nim's Island (2008) |
"Nim's Island wants desperately to be Swiss Family Robinson, but it's more like Swiss Miss." |
Joshua Tyler |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Nine Lives (2005) |
"A collection of short films pretending to be a feature length movie." |
Joshua Tyler |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
The Nines (2007) |
"August may be peddling some absurd New age "secret", but at least it allows him the benefit of stronger and more coherent storytelling." |
Brian Holcomb |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Ninja Assassin (2009) |
"It's brisk and exciting and exuberantly obvious filmmaking, but it knows how to light up every bloodthirsty pleasure center in your brain, and does so with gusto." |
Katey Rich |
Tomato 4/5 |
No Country for Old Men (2007) |
"What starts off as the best Charles Bronson movie not to star Charles Bronson ends up as a literary adaptation of a novel that thinks it means something or other." |
Brian Holcomb |

No Country for Old Men (2007) |
"So far it looks absolutely nothing like any of the junk the Coens have been doing lately." |
Joshua Tyler |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
No Country for Old Men (2007) |
"A return to glory for the Coen Brothers, a revisiting of the formula that worked so well for them in Fargo, but with a darker, more cynical twist." |

The Notebook (2004) |
"Occasionally it’s nice to remember that actual photography is a part of filmmaking." |
Bill Beyrer |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
The Notebook (2004) |
"It certainly isn’t cool to embrace The Notebook, but in secret maybe I’ll just tip toe into the living room and kiss my wife. Don’t tell the guys." |
Joshua Tyler |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Notes on a Scandal (2006) |
"Written with the same kind of duplicitous, conniving overtones that Marber injected into Closer; only, for me, it lacks the same bite." |
Lexi Feinberg |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Nothing But the Truth (2008) |
"Nothing But the Truth is flat and unexceptional, the bureaucratic, talky parts of a political thriller without the action sequences as payoff." |
Katey Rich |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Nothing Like the Holidays (2008) |
"True to its bland title, it isn't too Puerto Rican for a wide audience, isn't too racy for a family audience, and hell, isn't even too Christian for an audience not celebrating Christmas." |
Katey Rich |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Notorious (2009) |
